Recreational Gymnastics
Classes for ages 6-7 | 8-11 | 12+
Welcome to the fun, non-competitive pathway to the exciting world of gymnastics.
Focusing on developing fundamental movement skills, including balance, strength, flexibility, coordination, and spatial awareness, recreational gymnastics provides children with a strong foundation for gymnastics progression, participation in other sports and a love of physical activity that can last a lifetime.
Our colour-coded and carefully designed syllabus provides a pathway for athletes of different age groups and abilities to build competence and confidence in a non-competitve, safe and fun environment. Programmes build year on year for ongoing progression, emphasising fun, friendship, and personal progress.
Recreational gymnastics fosters confidence, resilience, teamwork, and creativity while encouraging children to stay active and engaged. It is ideal for children seeking a healthy and enjoyable activity that promotes both physical and social development.
Sessions typically include warm-ups, skill-building activities, and conditioning. They rotate through apparatus including the floor, beam, bars, and trampoline, progressing from foundational gymnastic movements through to more advanced skills with coaches guiding them at their own pace.
To monitor and celebrate progress, we run Testing Days twice a year at the end of Terms 2 and 4, where athletes can showcase what they’ve learned and earn certificates and ribbons to recognise their achievements. This also acts as a gateway into our competitive squads.

Yellow classes provide a strong introduction to gymnastics, teaching basic skills, shapes, and positions while developing strength, flexibility, and spatial awareness. Ideal for beginners and those transitioning from preschool programmes.

The Pink Programme focuses on skill development and refining movement patterns. Gymnasts build confidence, technique, creativity, and flow, with an emphasis on progression and personal achievement.

We offer classes by age group tailored specifically for boys, focusing on strength, coordination, confidence, and skill development across male apparatus in a safe, supportive and motivating environment.
Tumbling & Tramp
Tumbling and trampoline classes are designed to work just on floor tumbling and trampoline skills.

FAQs

Recreational Gymnastics is designed for children aged 6 to teens. Programmes are carefully designed to provide a structured pathway for everyone from those starting out with no experience of gymnastics to those looking to extend foundational skills and capability in a non-competitive, safe and fun environment.
We recommend wearing comfortable clothing that allows for movement, such as a leotard or fitted shorts and a t-shirt. Avoid clothing with zippers or buttons that could snag on equipment. Long hair should be neatly tied back off theh face and shoulders. Please ensure your child has bare feet for safety.
Each recreational gymnastics class lasts for approximately 60 minutes. This duration is ideal for maintaining energy and focus while allowing ample time for skill development. We recommend arriving a few minutes early to get settled.
A trial class is recommended for all children who are new to gymnastics or those new to Xpressions. If you are unsure, we recommend contacting us in the first instance via email and we will help identify the best programme for your child.
A trial class costs $25. If you decide to enroll after your initial trial, the cost will be deducted from the term fee. Term fees do change from term to term subject to the course and the duration. Term prices can be found alongside the term classes.
